Her C-section date was moved up, and on January 23 -- six weeks early -- @placeholder was born. | (CNN) -- When Elizabeth Joice found out that she was pregnant, she and her husband, Max, were ecstatic. A fertility specialist had told her that this would never happen, Max says, because of the chemotherapy Elizabeth underwent to beat sarcoma in 2010. "It very much felt like a miracle," he says. "Bringing a child into this world -- I mean, it wasn't just important for me; it was one of the most important things for Liz." Then, one month into her pregnancy, Elizabeth's cancer returned, he says. Surgeons removed the tumors in her back, but she needed a full-body MRI scan to know whether the cancer had spread. Because an MRI's contrast dyes may damage a developing fetus, she faced a difficult decision. She could either terminate her pregnancy to undergo the scan or continue with the pregnancy without knowing her true cancer status.

'The Luke Shaw case is the climax of @placeholder's predictable pre-season injury crisis due to "too much training too soon".' | By Reuters Reporter The injury sustained by Manchester United defender Luke Shaw was caused by too many training sessions from new manager Louis van Gaal, former Wales assistant coach Raymond Verheijen said on Thursday. England left back Shaw, signed from Southampton in the summer for £27million, may be out for a month with a hamstring problem and will definitely miss the start of the Premier League campaign at home to Swansea City on Saturday. Verheijen called fellow Dutchman Van Gaal a 'great appointment' by United but at the same time accused the former Netherlands manager of incompetence and of working his players too hard.

Two-time world champion @placeholder has been with Ferrari since 2010, but his position as the team's undisputed No. | (CNN) -- McLaren may want a reunion with Fernando Alonso, but the Spaniard has no intention of leaving Ferrari. On a frantic Friday at the Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh announced he wanted to bring Alonso back to the team he drove for during the 2007 season. When asked directly if he wanted to recruit Alonso, Whitmarsh responded: "Yes - any team would. He's the best driver." "I don't know his contractual situation. I assume he's under contract." But any hopes McLaren had of luring Alonso back were quickly quashed, with the two-time world champion declaring he saw his long-term future with Ferrari.

More than 200 female security workers were placed at checkpoints to search women passing through, @placeholder police said. | Baghdad (CNN) -- The commemoration of Ashura, arguably the holiest day on the Shiite Muslim calendar, passed without significant violence in Iraq Sunday. The peace was a marked contrast to the last eight years in which hundreds of people died in sectarian attacks. The period commemorates the martyrdom of Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, who was killed in battle in Karbala in 680 A.D.. His death was one of the events that helped create the schism between Sunnis and Shiites, the two main Muslim religious movements. Iraqi troops and police were deployed in the streets of Baghdad and Karbala, a holy Shiite city where 2 million Shiite pilgrims from across Iraq converged for the festival over the weekend.

In his ruling, @placeholder speculated that the founding fathers would have quite enjoyed expressing themselves on today's social networks. | You probably think your tweets aren't of any interest to the government. After all, most 140-character posts are public, often detailing nothing more interesting than snarky jokes or links to adorable cat videos on YouTube. However, courts are increasingly subpoenaing Twitter for data on its users that can be used in criminal and civil cases. That's what happened to editor Malcolm Harris. On Monday, New York Criminal Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino ordered Twitter to turn over Harris' tweets and data from a three-and-a-half-month period, striking down the company's request to quash a subpoena from the Manhattan district attorney. Twitter claimed that complying with the request would violate United States privacy laws.

Speaking in a 14th-floor courtroom with a view of Lower Manhattan and the area where the World Trade Center towers once stood, Shahzad said Muslims have been defending their people and their lands. If that makes them terrorists, "then we will terrorize you," he said, imploring people to embrace Islam.
