While @placeholder’s arrival is now only a matter of time, Kris Commons’ immediate future is no clearer. | Scott Brown plans to speak with Gary Mackay-Steven before he joins Celtic – to ensure the Dundee United man knows exactly what he’s getting himself into. The Tannadice winger will move to Parkhead on a Bosman in the summer, with the outside chance of the move being advanced to this month if Celtic pay out around £200,000. After coming up against the 24-year-old on club business and seeing him step up to become a full Scotland international, Brown believes the player has the mental strength to go with the skill required to cut it at a bigger club.

McCulloch's father was a police officer killed in a shootout with an @placeholder suspect. | (CNN) -- A little over two days. That's how long the grand jury deliberated before deciding not to bring an indictment against Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9. St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced the grand jury had heard more than 70 hours of testimony from 60 witnesses before reaching its decision, which he said was supported by physical evidence. Sadly, the grand jury's failure to return an indictment of Wilson was not surprising. But don't blame the grand jury; blame McCulloch. He oversaw the proceedings and bears responsibility for their outcome.

It would both provide a place of refuge for @placeholder now stranded in Turkey as well as create a buffer zone to keep hostilities at bay. | (CNN) -- Amid the current tension along the Turkish-Syrian border, Turkey has seemingly surrendered its initial reluctance to take a more proactive stance against the Islamic State (ISIS). More than 150,000 mostly Kurdish refugees have crossed the border into Turkey in recent days, fleeing the Mujahedeen's advance on the Syrian border town of Kobane. As ISIS mortar and artillery shells have repeatedly hit Turkish soil, the government in Ankara seems to have realized that it cannot divorce itself from the negative spill-over effects of the international coalition's war against the self-proclaimed caliphate.

The appeal was the third round through Italy's grinding, multi-level legal system, with its numerous checks and balances. But the saga is also confusing because, while the crime is simple, the case built around it is a grand spectacle combining aspects of national pride, sexist archetypes and race. Knox and her co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, were first convicted by a jury in 2009 for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher in 2007. An appellate judge overturned the conviction in 2011 and Knox returned to the United States after four years in jail. The prosecutor then appealed the acquittal to the Italian Supreme Court, which sent the case to the new appellate panel that reinstated the conviction.

A union of jail workers gave the gory footage to the newspaper.

The release of secretly recorded video from a May fundraiser, in which Romney casts @placeholder supporters as dependent on government, dominated coverage of the race over the past week. | Washington (CNN) -- With the conventions fading into the rearview mirror and the first presidential debate fast approaching, new polls in crucial swing states suggest that GOP nominee Mitt Romney's road to the White House is becoming a more challenging ride. Polls are a snapshot of how people feel right now. The election is still 6½ weeks away, with three presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate between now and then that have the potential to change people's minds. But the numbers in many of these new surveys seem to favor President Barack Obama over Romney. "Throughout the spring and summer, Romney advisers would look at the mostly dead-even polls and tell me, 'I'd a lot rather be in our position than theirs,'" said CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley. "They don't say that now, not because it's over -- clearly whatever edge the president has can be erased. They don't say that anymore because as fall opens, advantage Obama."
